TheJournal.ie reader WELCOME TO HOW I Spend My Money, a series on The Journal that looks at how people in Ireland really handle their finances.
Last time around, we heard from a lawyer on the west coast on €130K. This week, an IT customer support worker on €19K living in Co Mayo. 9.00 am: I sit down at my desk and log into work. First two hours of work in the morning are always the busiest. 3.00 pm: On my break in the garden, I buy my monthly grocery shop from Evergreen.ie. I have a dietary allergy, so I buy some items from this health food shop and my mother pays for the rest of the food for the house.
7.00 pm: I spend an hour practising coding on Codeacademy. I like to keep learning and updating my skills so this is an accessible way for me to do so in my own time.9.00 pm: Watch The Kardashians on Disney Plus.1.00 pm: To celebrate Friday, I buy €35 worth of Tulip bulbs on Farmergracy.com’s winter sale. Might seem like a lot of money for some bulbs right now, but in Spring I know that I’ll appreciate every cent of my purchase.
